And, isnt the first GM usually the final push before a release? It seems to strain credulity that there have been 2 re-pushes after the initial GM.

From what I have read previously, the term Gold Master is used by DVD & CD producers to describe the disc containing the original data that is copied to thousands of retail discs for distribution and then sale. So they probably use the term in the same manner, describing it as the end of beta testing and it is now in the distribution state, except there are definetly no DVD's or CD's involved.

Sorry I clicked on the wrong post. This was meant for someone else.

AirPlay does not support the old appletv and airprint does not support my oki printer... Besides these to major features in 4.2.1 that I can't make use of there are a few nice tweaks to it, such as making playlists on the go etc...

Well nonetheless I downgraded back to 4.1 and rejailbroke my iPhone 4...

So for all of you that want to try it out: It's safe, and you can easily downgrade back down provided you've got your shsh blobs saved

But I guess it isn't really legal, but I mean how are they going to find out? With the thousands of dev UUID registered at apple..

cheers

I don't give a damn about Chuck Norris, Spongebob can grill under water!

Show me ANYWHERE that says an iOS beta will potentially brick your iDevice.

Right here, my iPad is bricked because of this update. It jammed half way through the update and now I can't do anything to it. Can't restore, can't update, can't force it to downgrade. So how about eating those words? Unless you an magically kick my iPad out of recovery.

Restoring to 4.2.1 jams at Preparing iPad for Restore, and trying 3.2.2 jams at Restoring iPad...
